Mineola West

the most expensive homes in Mississauga - part 4

Mineola Location

The Mineola area of Port Credit, Mississauga, or more specifically Mineola West, is a small, exclusive enclave of expensive homes in the south-central part of Toronto's western suburb. Nestled just off of Hurontario Street, south of the QEW highway, and on the northern fringes of Port Credit, Mineola was originally a location of bucolic cottages, There is an extensive tree canopy here that gives Mineola West a parklike appearance. Ranch bungalows and cottages were originally built here on massive, forested lots, with long, winding driveways offering the ultimate in privacy and seclusion. Today these lots are highly sought after, and new estate homes of palatial proportions are replacing many of the original houses.

West Mineola is a discreet place, without large signs or markings, and it is easy to miss unless you know the directions. As you exit west off Hurontario Street onto Mineola Road, there is an immediate transformation from the bustle of Mississauga's main thoroughfare, to a secluded setting of tall trees, narrow streets, and incredible properties. As you proceed along Mineola Road W., the trees get taller, the houses get bigger, until you reach the end of the road - the Credit River, where there are a few amazing properties facing directly onto the river.

The tall trees accent impressively landscaped properties, on massive lots. Here you find a mix of the original bungalows and cottages, complimented by more recent, estate type properties.
